Update to Writing as an Endurance Sport

I just realized that like many athletes, I have my favorite "sports gear" or in my case, writing gear. I have my favorite pair of socks, a favorite sweatshirt, t-shirt and lounge pants. I have been questing for the perfect writing pajamas, but maybe I should be looking for the best active wear instead.

Oh yeah and I have a favorite energy drink too. Coffee, of course. Fitness food would have to be chocolate. Truly I have a warped idea of what a mix of writing and fitness should be. Though I am serious about wanting a Wii Fit for Christmas.

The Meaning of Sisu

Sisuis a Finnish term loosely translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance and acting rationally in the face of adversity. However, the word is widely considered to lack proper translation into any other language. Sisu has been described as being integral to understanding Finnish culture. The literal meaning is equivalent in English to "having guts", and the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior. (from - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu - See also Cultural significance on that site)
